such as the Defense integrated Subsistence Management System (DISMS), as well as
with retail systems.

2. DLMSO informed the attendees that OSD had scheduled a meeting
with JLSC, DDSC and DLMSO, 2 November 1994, to address AMCL implementation.
Mr. Mike Imhoff, JLSC, will notify JLSC of the AMCL implementation concerns so that
JLSC can address them at the OSD meeting. [NOTE: At the 2 November 1994
meeting, JLSC stated they anticipated having a complete schedule for implement-
ing the outstanding AMCLs by mid-December 1994. Upon receipt of this sched-
ule, DLMSO will provide copies to the Supply PRC members.]

F. Ms. Sherry Larkin, Coast Guard, expressed interest in obtaining a copy of the
mapping of the Defense Logistics Standard Systems (DLSS) transactions to the DLMS
2.0 transaction sets. DLMSO will provide the mapping document to the Supply PRC
representatives. Additionally, DLMSO will investigate publishing the mapping either as.
an appendix to volume 1 of the DLMS 2.0 manual or as a staffing guide.

G. Mr. Gary Hood, GSA, asked whether DLMSO planned to use the Washington
Publishing System software to produce the DLMS standards/implementation conven-
tions, just as the Data Interchange Standards Association does for the X12 Standards.
This approach would allow users to access the data with a laptop computer, thereby
eliminating the need to carry the cumbersome publication to meetings. DLMSO agreed
to look into the possibility of producing the full manual on electronic media such as CD
ROM or Washington Publishing System software.

H. Several attendees provided updates to the Supply PRC membershin list.
The revised PRC list is provided at Attachment 5. The corresponding address listing is
provided at Attachment 6.

|. DLMSO emphasized to the attendees the importance of reviewing the DLMS
2.0 manual to insure that it meets their functional requirements. DLMSO anticipates
reissuing the draft manual as a final version in early 1995 and requested attendees to
provide their changes for inclusion in the reissuance by 30 November 1994. Additional
proposed changes may be submitted at anytime using the change procedures in
volume 1, chapter 5.

However, DDSC should ensure that all current and propesed DSS data requirements have

SUBJECT: Status of Supply Process Review Committee (PRC) Meeting

b. Ms. Ellen Hilert, DLMSO, requested that the JLSC provide
specific guidance concerning implementation of bulk fuel logistics information exchange
within the Material Management Standard System. Historically, reporting of fuels
transactions has been under a unique standard system. Under DLMS 2.0 much of the
information reported is incorporated within standard supply transactions. A moderniza-
tion effort underway at the Defense Fuel Supply Center employs a database design
based upon currently used transactions.

3. The Services questioned how/when the retail level would implement
DLMS 2.0. The JLSC representatives stated that JLSC was not responsible for retail
implementation. Mr. James Johnson, DLMSO, indicated that ADUSD is looking into
retail implementation of DLMS 2.0 and will provide guidance in the near future. DLMSO
will participate in this effort and apprise the PRC representatives of developments in
this area.

D. Implementation of Single Shared Data Base Technology: Mr. Don Hartzell,
Army, asked what JLSC, in conjunction with DDSC, is doing to implement the technica!
capability for a single record shared by the inventory manager and the distribution
depot. As stated in Approved MILSTRAP Change Letter 8A, Revised Procedures for
Physical Inventory Control, a fundamental requirement of inventory integrity is the
implementation of the technical capability that provides for a single shared asset
balance. Further, DoD policy, as stated in DoD 4140.1-R, requires that the inventory
control points (ICPs) and supply distribution depots share a single item inventory
record. In light of the DoD policy and AMCL 8A, DLMSO requested that JLSC provide
DLMSO with status on the initiative to implement the technical capability for a single
Gata base shared by the ICPs and depots. Mr. Mike Imhoff, JLSC, agreed to address
this issue at JLSC. Once DLMSO receives the requested status, DLMSO will apprise
the Supply PRC representatives.

E. Implementation of Outstanding Approved MILs Change Letters (AMCLs):

i. Mr. Bob Vitko, DLA, asked for status on the implementation of out-
standing AMCLs. Mr. Vitko indicated that since the DoD group, comprised of OSD,
JLSC, DDSC and DLMSO, has not yet provided guidance on when outstanding AMCLs
would be implemented, there is considerable confusion on when systems not under the
cognizance of JLSC should implement the AMCLs. It is imperative that the Services
and DLA receive definitive direction on when JLSC will implement outstanding AMCLs
so that a coordinated implementation can be effected with other migration systems,



DLMSO PAGE 2
SUBJECT: Status of Supply Process Review Committee (PRC) Meeting

4. Ms. Mary Jane Hefner discussed examples of Service and Agency
enhancements incorporated in DLMS 2.0.

B. Mr. Harry Featherstone, Logistics Management Institute, gave a DLMS
briefing/handout followed by a detailed review of the transaction set 511 requisition and
an overview of the transaction set 527 receipt transaction.

C. Implementation of DLMS 2.0:

1. DLMSO provided the attendees with copies of two Assistant Deputy
Under Secretary of Defense for Logistics (ADUSD/L) memorandums directing that the
Joint Logistics Systems Center (JLSC), the Defense Distribution Systems Center
(DDSC) and the Joint Transportation Corporate Information Management (CIM) Center
(JTCC) implement the Modernization of the Defense Logistics Standard Systems
(MODELS). Please note that MODELS has evolved into DLMS 2.0 so the terms are
used interchangeably in this memorandum. The 22 April 1994 memorandum
(Attachment 3) directed that JLSC, DDSC, and JTCC provide ADUSD with their plans
for implementing MODELS in their selected migration systems. The 17 August 1994
memorandum (Attachment 4) directed that the JLSC, in coordination with the other
logistics CIMs, develop an integrated Logistics CIM plan for implementing MODELS by
October 1996. This memorandum tasked the JLSC to provide the plan by 31 October
1994.

2. DLMSO asked the JLSC representatives to provide their views on the
JLSC DLMS implementation effort. Mr. Jerry Patterson, JLSC, indicated that the initial
pian which JLSC was scheduled to provide ADUSD on 31 October 1994 would likely be
a high level plan. JLSC would then continue to work on a more detailed plan and
estimated its completion by the end of January 1995. He envisioned that the detailed
plan would be an executabie plan for implementing MODELS.

a. Ms. Darlene Deangelo, DLA, asked how the PRC members
couid get a copy of the JLSC MODELS implementation pian. JLSC indicated that they
would provide the plan to ADUSD and, once finalized, ADUSD would distribute it.

Mr. Smith stated that when DLMSO received the finalized plan they would distribute it
to the Configuration Control Board (CCB) members and apprise the Supply PRC
representatives of the distribution.

MEMORANDUM OF MEETING

SUBJECT: Status of Supply Process Review Committee (PRC) Meeting

ih PURPOSE: The Defense Logistics Management Standards Office (DLMSO)
held the initial meeting of the Supply PRC, 25-26 October 1994, at DLMSO, 6301 Little
River Turnpike, Alexandria, VA. DLMSO had originally scheduled the meeting to
review the draft Defense Logistics Management System (DLMS) 2.0 manual, DoD
4000.25-M, and address Component concerns/issues. Prior fo the meeting however,
many representatives indicated that they had never received the draft manual and were
not familiar with DLMS 2.0. Accordingly, DLMSO changed the focus of the meeting to
provide an orientation to familiarize the participants with DLMS and apprise them of its
current status. A list of attendees is at Attachment 1. The agenda is at Attachment 2.

I. BRIEF SUMMARY OF DISCUSSION:

A, The Supply PRC chair, Mr. Phil Smith, began the meeting with routine
administrative comments and introductions. Mr. Horace E. Perdieu, DLMSO Director,
provided opening remarks. Following the opening remarks, DLMSO representatives
gave a variety of DLMS presentations/nandouts as follows:

1. Mr. Joe Pipan gave a briefing and handout addressing the evolution of
OLMS electronic data interchange which ultimately resulted in the use of approved
American National Standards Institute (ANS) American Standards Committee (ASC)
X12 transactions for DLMS 2.0.

2. Ms. Mickie Martin discussed a handout cross-referencing MILSTRIP,
MILSTRAP, and MILSPETS document identifier codes to their associated DLMS 2.0
transaction sets and cross-referencing DLMS 2.0 transaction sets to document
identifier codes.

3. Ms. Elleen Kenna gave presentations/nandouts on streamlining/
implementation highlights and the ANSI ASC X12 revision process and also provided
an overview of volume 1 of the DLMS manual.
